Ever since the first A350 joined the fleet last week, it has been on a whirlwind schedule with pilots flying it all around Germany in an effort to get their training flights completed.   Until recently, LH has been publishing the schedule of these flights 2-3 days in advance but due to weather and short-notice changes, it will now announce the A350s schedule the day before.   This is being done primarily for weather related issues as the airline doesn’t want ‘avgeeks’ trekking to airports in bad weather only to come away disappointed that the A350’s plans changed for the day.

As of right now, Lufthansa has only published the A350 target airports for tomorrow and times have yet to be confirmed.   For December 28, the aircraft is scheduled to appear at Leipzig, Hannover, Stuttgart and Nuremberg.    Typically the aircraft departs Munich by mid morning and is back to MUC by 4-5:00p.

LH has done a great job providing real time updates via their @LufthansaNews Twitter account.  I suggest you follow this account so that you know exactly what is happening with the flights.
